Lagrangian Mean Curvature Flow

Abstract
Mean curvature vector is the negative gradient of the area functional. Thus if we deform a submanifold along its mean curvature vector, which is called mean curvature flow (MCF), the area will decrease most rapidly. When the ambient manifold is Kahler-Einstein, being Lagrangian is preserved under MCF. It is thus very natural trying to construct special Lagrangian/ Lagrangian minimal through MCF. In this talk, I will make a brief introduction and report some of my recent works with my coauthors in this direction, which mainly concern the singularities of the flow.
